Georgetown Law Student, Alumnae Named to Forbes "30 Under 30" in Law and Policy

Earlier this year, Hillery became the U.S. Naval Academy’s first paraplegic graduate. He enrolled at the Naval Academy with dreams of becoming a Navy SEAL until a 2011 biking accident left him paralyzed from the waist down. He began his studies at Georgetown Law this fall and was recently profiled on the Georgetown University website: http://www.georgetown.edu/news/kevin-hillery-navy-law-center.html.

AliKhan, an associate in the appellate practice group at O’Melveny & Myers, graduated in the top 10 percent of her Georgetown Law class. Forbes noted that her resume includes clerking for two federal judges, the Justice Department’s Bristow Fellowship and a D.C. Circuit case win at 25.

Noronha is deputy director at the Republican National Lawyers Association. Forbes highlighted her distinction as the first Asian-American president of the Philodemic Society, a debating union founded in 1830. The publication also cited her being accepted early to Georgetown Law without submitting an LSAT score.
